Touch me not
Touch not what I touch, /
hoping only to feel worlds /
and none of yourself.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Bloom”
Bloom
Smell the flower’s bloom. /
Hear the wisdom of the breeze. /
See and touch and be.

Attached
Attached and then not; /
night releases our shadows, /
borrowed daylight ghosts.

Fulsome thunder follows lightning. /
Cat descends deck chair.

Defying the drought, /
an orange daylily blooms /
in time to catch rain.
